27 Kerym (1/2)
In the floating city of the Ancient Ones, a person was passing through, hidden by the shadows. It was Kigai, and he was paying his good friend Kerym a visit. Using the shadows, he snuck into Kerym's house and saw him on the couch, playing with his youngest son.
”Long time no see,” Kigai said.
Kerym turned to the voice and saw Kigai. ”Haven't you heard of privacy?”
”Yeah, but I'm an assassin.”
”You're not just any assassin. You're the founder of the assassination guild.”
”Yeah, yeah, whatever.” Kigai sat down across Kerym. ”I was just passing through. So, how's it been?”
”Eh, so and so. I'm planning on retiring and giving the crown to my eldest, but...”
”But what?”
”I don't know if he's ready for it. How about you? How has it been?”
”Dilya gave birth to another child, but this time, it's a girl.”
”Congratulations, what are you naming her?”
”I don't know. To be honest, I di-”
Kigai was cut off when the floating island suddenly shook and a loud explosion could be heard.
”What the hell was that?” Kerym asked.
”How should I know?” Kigai peeked through the windows and saw a large smoke cloud in the distance.
”Stay here, daddy has to take care of something, ok?” Kerym placed his son in his crib and went to Kigai. ”We better check it out.”
Kigai nodded and the two left the house, heading for the smoke cloud. Kigai arrived first and Kerym arrived shortly after. It didn't take long as the two were very fast.
Kigai watched as the smoke started disappearing, a silhouette of a person appearing inside it. ”There's someone inside there.”
Kerym nodded, looking at the silhouette. He didn't know what the silhouette was, but if it was an enemy, he was ready to fight.
Guards appeared as the smoke cleared up. Archers drew their bow, aiming at the silhouette in the smoke.
Eventually, the smoke disappeared and a shirtless male Lolleon was in the smoke; it was Hoemis.
Hoemis looked around, seeing the guards. Some held shields, while some had weapons. He looked at the archers aiming at him. Looking around, he saw two people catch his attention, Kigai, and Kerym.
”Who's that?” Kigai asked Kerym.
”I don't know. It's not Anhur as he doesn't look old,” Kerym whispered to Karl. Kerym turned his head, looking at Hoemis. ”Who are you? Why have you destroyed a part of our city?”
